#Vana has raised $25 million to advance its mission of creating user-owned #AI and overcoming the "data wall" that AI researchers face due to the shortage of public internet data. The funding includes a $5M strategic round led by #CoinbaseVentures , an $18M Series A led by #Paradigm , and a $2M seed round led by #Polychain .
Vana addresses the issue of limited training data by allowing users to pool their data through decentralized autonomous organizations (data DAOs), ensuring that contributors are fairly rewarded. The platform, built on an EVM-compatible blockchain, is the first designed for private, user-owned data. Key features include proof of contribution, rewards for top data liquidity pools, and incentives through dataset- and AI model-specific tokens.
Their testnet has gained traction with projects like Reddit, Twitter, and LinkedIn data DAOs. The funding will help accelerate Vana’s development and support decentralized AI projects that rely on user-owned data. Other notable investors include GSR, Defiance Capital, and BoxGroup.

Privy Raises $15 Million to Fuel Crypto Wallet Infrastructure Expansion Amid Surging Demand
New York-based crypto wallet infrastructure startup Privy has secured $15 million in a strategic funding round led by Ribbit Capital, marking a pivotal moment in its quest to accelerate blockchain adoption. Announced on March 19, 2025, the investment saw participation from heavyweight backers including Sequoia Capital, Paradigm, and Coinbase, propelling Privy’s total funding beyond $40 million. The fresh capital will drive team expansion and advance the company’s mission to streamline crypto wallet integration for mainstream apps, bridging Web3’s potential with everyday user experiences.
Revolutionizing Blockchain Accessibility Through Developer Tools
Founded in 2021 by Asta Li and Henri Stern, Privy equips businesses with software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) that simplify embedding crypto wallets into apps and websites. By abstracting technical complexities, the platform empowers developers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
“Crypto wallets are the gateway to onboarding the next billion users into Web3,” emphasized CEO Henri Stern. “Our tools allow developers to harness blockchain’s transformative power while preserving the intuitive experiences users expect.”
A Surge in Adoption and Enterprise Demand
Privy’s growth trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric. Since its 2023 funding round, the company’s user base has ballooned from 1 million to 50 million crypto wallet accounts, reflecting surging interest in decentralized applications. Its client portfolio has also expanded exponentially, now serving 1,000 businesses a dramatic leap from 40 just two years prior. Notable adopters include NFT marketplace leader OpenSea and loyalty rewards platform Blackbird, both leveraging Privy’s infrastructure to enhance their Web3 capabilities.
Though the company keeps specific revenue figures private, insiders report a 25-fold increase in earnings over the past year, driven by its subscription-based pricing model tied to monthly active wallets.
Navigating a Competitive Landscape
While rivals like Reown vie for market share in the crypto infrastructure space, Privy’s rapid scaling and robust investor backing including repeat support from Paradigm and Coinbase cement its position as an industry frontrunner. Stern revealed plans to double the team’s headcount from 25 to 50 within 18 months, prioritizing engineering and product development roles to maintain innovation momentum.
Strategic Role of Crypto Wallets in Web3 Evolution
As critical portals to decentralized ecosystems, crypto wallets enable users to manage digital assets, interact with dApps, and access blockchain services. Privy’s infrastructure lowers adoption barriers for companies seeking to incorporate Web3 features from tokenized loyalty programs to NFT marketplaces into conventional platforms. This democratization of technology aligns with broader industry efforts to move blockchain beyond niche use cases into mainstream commerce and social applications.
Investor Confidence Signals Long-Term Blockchain Potential
The funding round underscores growing institutional faith in crypto infrastructure despite market volatility. Ribbit Capital’s leadership in the deal reflects a strategic bet on blockchain’s enduring utility, while participation from Coinbase and Paradigm highlights alignment with established industry players.
Challenges and Opportunities on the Horizon
As Privy scales, key challenges include maintaining robust security protocols amid rapid growth and differentiating its offerings in an increasingly crowded market. Yet Stern remains optimistic: “By making crypto technology seamless and user-friendly, we can unlock its potential to revolutionize industries far beyond finance from healthcare to supply chain management.”
For businesses and developers exploring Web3 integration, Privy’s tools offer a compelling solution to balance innovation with accessibility, potentially reshaping how traditional industries interact with decentralized systems.
